OMG me and my mate Tess are so guilty of watching 208.. we actually watched it tonight. We make it a bit of a tradition and get smashed at her place watching 208 then walk to the local club... DAmn we are so much better dancers than 1/2 the ppl on there and would win hands down I am sure..

For anyone that gives a shit next Friday night on 208 they are broadcasting (of course it's a repeat version) from Adelaide @ Euphoria.. Definatly worth a suss I reckon. Dj;s souli and a few of our other local dj's will be on there. Think we might have to get mashed and watch that one again..

If we ever decide to go dance on there maxallan you wanna come???

I watch about 3 minutes of it and am either ready to laugh for the sake of the arse wiggling these kids can do, or cry because of the arse wiggling and slight arm movements.

Then you get the vapid ones who jump, and the slightly older older ones who just about pole dance!

That show is an insult to good music!!!

I remember it being on one night at a pub in the city, but the sound was turned off and they had been playing some other music...

My friends and I were pissing ourselves laughing at the way these teeny bopper kids were dancing and behaving...

Every so often I'll flick it on Channel V for Room208 just to have a giggle, but half the time that show annoys the crap out of me I can only handle a few minutes...

It would be good if I could blank out the screen, edit the show so the talking isn't heard... and just have the music playing :tripping:

...is Psy ...is good

Room 208 is a dance show run at the Channel V Headquarters in Sydney. However, Mike Kerry and the transvestite (Claire De Loon) have taken the show on tour all around Australia.

Anyone can go on it and the only requirement is that u must dance (dance till ya cant dance no more!:p) They just video everyone dancing to cheesy songs and the viewers can SMS and call to vote for who they think is the best dancer!

The majority of the dancers are pretty lame and only a few can actually dance. They sorta remind me of a mixture of TW and a Euphoria. Anywho, the winner from the poll voting wins $1,000. Usually to win this u must: be a skinny blonde chick that is prepared to root anyone/things leg on the "podium of fame" where all the most voted for dancers perform towards the end of the show.

Its fun to laugh at teeny boppers but Room 208 can get pretty annoying pretty fast!! Theres no way I'd dance on national television!!

I think the type of chicks that are one there are mostly the kind of ho's that can be found at C/L and TW. gotta agree with ya there. Tis hell funny though. We full take the piss when we remember its on and watch it whilst drinking... There are so many try hards on there agreed.. last Friday night was the FIRST time I have ever seen a guy win....

Sorry anyone that wants to see the Adelaide instalment of 208 this Friday night (not sure of what time it starts) but on Channel [V] its the replay of the night.. Might be well worth a suss. Some of the Adelaide dj's are on there mixing things up and we will be gettting drunk watching it.

I am actually planning on going to a Euphoria in the not too distant future (research) just to have a suss and see what its all bout.... So

I watched and laughed at all the snapper head kids dancing!:p It looked like fun though (as far as room 208 goes). I flicked it over, saw RMAC and didnt know what the deal was:p

From what Ive seen, Adelaide rocks so much over Canberra!
